WTF is this with the Vikings getting all this literary talent?  At least they're being dumbed down considerably with the addition of motor-mouth Greg Jennings.

You're right, JnC.  This was an engrossing piece.

Favre has proven to be a dick on a personal level but he was a truly great QB and -- more so -- a warrior.  It's tragic that a couple of picks are likely to define his legacy because there are infinitely many more plus marks on his ledger.

 It must be one of their inate genetic characteristics. If you recall Mike Tice used to carry a small pencil behind his right ear so he could capture the prose of the moment during a game.

Indeed, there was a time when I respected him and admired him but after learning of his numerous affairs and how he would even go into other rooms of his home to speak with his mistresses on the phone so that his wife wouldn't hear him...he makes me sick to even look at him. No matter how great of a quarter back he may have been, now whenever I see him...I see a cheater.
